Choice 2: Luke 10:38–42; 11:1–13; 12:13–40; 13:23–24; 14:16–33. Being a Disciple of Jesus Christ
- Read Luke 10:38–42; 11:1–13; 12:13–40; 13:23–24; 14:16–33 and the institute student manual commentary for Luke 11:5–13, “The Parable of the Friend at Midnight” (p. 115).

- Identify one of the teachings from your list that you would like to apply more fully in your life. Write a paragraph about how you could apply that teaching and what difference you believe it would make in your life.
One of the teachings that I would to apply more
fully in my life is fervent prayer.
Sometimes prayer becomes something to check off my list of things to
do. This shouldn’t happen. This shouldn’t happen, I should be fervently
praying to the Lord, instead of half heartedly doing so.
